A Galaxy J3 fits that need perfectly. You can get them for $70 or so without even shopping very hard. I upgraded to a J7 last month, which is an expensive phone ($150).
China is a difficult beast in this space. It is quite unlikely Chinese made server racks will find international acceptance, for many reasons, but most of all for the extremely high risk of embedded spyware and back doors - and in all likelihood several layers of them, added by government orders, company orders and enterprising individuals in the organization. China has a track record, and shows no inclination to change.
China, however, has their trucks and trains delivering product along massive belts and roads. Semi-authoritarian countries south and west of them are bound to listen to the 'good deals' Chinese providers can supply them with.
SUVs are bought because people have actual families to fit in their car. An economy sedan won't work. A minivan would probably be better and even safer, but people want a 'car' to drive.
What pisses me off more is the bloat of the 'pickup truck.' They're hardly a pickup anymore, with four doors, two rows of seats and a tiny little symbolic box.
Russia isn't even a primary foreign policy opponent any longer. We should be looking at China and their imperialistic belt-and-road initiative, not fretting over musty cold war memes.
There was enough foul play uncovered that the chairiman of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, was forced to resign from the position and be replaced, during the height of the campaign when such a move was extremele disruptive. You can try to smooth that over with words, but there was big-time rotten activity and we should be grateful it was exposed.
It's just an 'anecdote function' added to justify the purchase. Let's be honest: the gratification one gets from buying Apple gadgets is severely paced by the annual interval between each purchase. Real enthusiast Apple Store shoppers seek out opportunities to experience that rush more frequently. Getting these gadgets for family members is another instance to feel the rush.
It makes me sad to read that you listen to audiobooks and podcasts while biking. Don't you ever want to get away from the stream of words pushing into your head? I like walking the dog up the highway on a leash, and just getting away so I can think, my head cleared of outside interference.
Most people don't need an EKG as a wearable peripheral. If you need that sort of monitoring, you get it implanted. If not, an inexpensive bluetooth peripheral to perform the function is more practical. You do NOT need an EKG monotoring you 24/7. Cardiologists are probably going to need to figure out ways to filter out the noise from twinks using these gadgets.
I enjoy not needing social media. My watch is on my wrist to show the time. My phone is handy in my pocket for things like convenience while shopping:
Last week I again found a used book on the shelf at Half-Price books. But they wanted $8 for it. So I pulled up a search on abe.com (a consortium of hundreds of used book dealers worldwide) and ordered a copy from some place in Florida for $3.99, shipping included.
So you must be one of those people I see who dedicate one of your hands to always having the phone in it. I saw two of you, a couple, in the line in front of me at Dairy Queen last night. They otherwise looked like ordinary people.
Right. So the Samsung watch and the Apple watch are both completely out of the question. My Casio watch has those fgunctions built it and doesn't need to be registered.
Of course, the whole point in having a 'smart' watch is for it's connectivity, so your paranoid quip is ludicrous.
The C64 has an 'operating system' that just exits out of memory, so the program runs on the bare processor and peripherals at the hardware register level.
The Pi floats way up high on multiple layers of hardware abstracion.
They are completely different. The pi is just cheap, because it's extremely integrated, and made out of mobile device parts.
One can get updates all the time on Android devices. The updates are just more granular. Modules of Android are pushed out in the Play Store. You cad still get plenty of freshly updated apps for older 32 bit Android devices. Apple pushes HARD for their developers to always build to the latest-greatest API. So my Galaxy Tab 2 has more options for current apps than an old iPad of similar vintage.
Mortgage debt is dramatically different from unsecured-loan indebtedness. Going out and buying trendy plastick crap is completely different from borrowing to buy something durable like a home to live in.
Back in the day, we had to compile a new kernel if we wanted to sit and watch our computer 'do a bunch of stuff' pointlessly. Or more recently, build LyX from pkgsrc on a bare system (the dependencies are sorta incredible).

Microsoft isn't really a factor.
And Linus is on vacation because the social networkers got to him.

Key word to ponder: merely.
Nobody makes it all the way to detention at Guantanimo Bay for merely wearing a watch.

No, that isn't true. Anybody can go to the link provided and see that isn't true.
Interix was a product developed by a seperate company (Softway Systems) that Microsoft bought.

8 bit processor with 24 bytes of RAM. Available in a 6 pin package.
The American developers come out of the payroll budget. The offshore developers are an external cost, and come out of a different budget.
Yes, we know you drink Coke, not Pepsi.

Yes, definitely change the materials that our electronics are created from . Maybe two or three times per decade. Whoo!
